This invention relates to a stand for a lamp particularly suited for'culinary pur-' poses, the lamphaving a body, and a'cover which must be The objects of the inventigm are to pi'oduce a simple andfinexpensiv'e stand, which may be folded to occupy a minimum amount of space, and which may also be utilized for removing the co'verfrom the lamp. These and further objects will more fully appear from the following specification and accom-'- panying drawings, considered together or separately.

In the drawings, "Figure 1 is a planyiew \of a stand embodying the invention. Fig.

The improved stand comprises a base 1,

and legs 2 and 3, 3. The base is preferably made of a plate of'flat metal; the legs are preferably such as by the-rivets illustrated. The legs suitable means, such as by the rivets 4, 4.

These legs are so-positioned in relation to the leg 2. that they may be folded so as to he substantially parallel to said leg, as

shown in Fig.- 4. The base 1 is provided with down-turned lugs 5-5, against which the innerends of the legs 3-3 will abut are moved to the open positions shown in Figs. 1 and 3.
